Keratoconus and Cross-Linking Surgery [ Retaining Sight For Patients ]

A diagnosis of keratoconus can feel daunting — but today’s treatment options are changing everything.

Keep watching to hear Dr Erica Darian-Smith, Co-Founder and Ophthalmic Surgeon at Eagle Eye Surgeons, explain how corneal cross-linking is helping patients in Sydney protect their vision and avoid transplants.

Learn when the procedure is recommended, what recovery looks like, and the difference between epithelium-on and epithelium-off techniques.

What you’ll discover:
✅ How keratoconus affects the cornea and why it’s often under-diagnosed
✅ How cross-linking “freezes” the condition to stop it getting worse
✅ Recovery times and real-world expectations after treatment
✅ When to consider scleral lenses, PRK, or CAIRS as complementary options
✅ Why early diagnosis makes all the difference for long-term vision health
